 Description

Events occur independently

Two events cannot occur at exactly the same instant
The probability of an event in an interval is proportional to the
length of the interval

# of vehicles arriving at a toll booth in one hour

# of patients arriving in an emergency room between 11 and 12
pm
# of typos in a page
Sizing the size of operations at a bank, call centre, service cenre,
petrol bunk,

The experiment consists of a sequence of n identical trials

Two outcomes, success and failure, are possible on each trial
The probability of a success, denoted by p, does not change from trial to trial
The trials are independent
Tossing a Coin & we are interested in the number of Heads
The random variable X counts the number of successes in n trials

Time between vehicle arrivals at a toll booth

Time required to complete a questionnaire

Distance between major defects in a highway

Exponential Distribution and the Poisson Distribution are related

Average time between vehicle arrivals is = 5m = 1/12 h
Average number of vehicles arriving in 1 hour is 12
It is widely used in statistical inference.

It has been used in a wide variety of applications including:

Heights of people Rainfall amounts Test scores

We will use this extensively while describing

Distribution of sample mean
Distribution of a sample proportion
